Today, the Supreme Court of the Chechen Republic considered the petition of Zarema Musayeva’s defender to change the preventive measure in a new criminal case against her. Previously, the woman was remanded in custody until 1 February 2025, having been accused of disruption of the activities of a penal colony (Part 2 of Article 321 of the Criminal Code).
Aleksandr Savin, who represents Zarema’s interests, indicates the following: «At 9:30, the attorney, who lives in another region, notified the court that the appellate hearing on his complaint was scheduled for 11:00 that same day. The court refused to postpone the hearing until another day. I filed an urgent statement about the need to organize a video conference.»
As a result, the hearing was delayed; however, the attorney and Zarema Musayeva were able to attend it via video link. According to Aleksandr Savin, the prosecutor asked to leave Zarema in custody, citing the convenience of investigative steps.
«The prosecutor claimed that Zarema could obstruct the criminal investigation, namely, while in the colony, the investigator would not be able to promptly conduct investigative steps with Musayeva. This would allegedly delay the case. That is, she could not escape, or influence witnesses — Musayeva is being left in custody because it is convenient,» Mr. Savin said.
A decision on further appeal will be made when the defender receives the full text of the court’s ruling.
